Sabbath

Line 111:

The Bible says that the Sabbath is Saturday, but the Catholic Church established the doctrine of Lord’s Day (Sunday worship).

{{quote|But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn’t it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not from the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistent; but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom, even though '''it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text in the Bible'''.|''The Faith of the Millions'', John O’Brien, Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., 1974, pp. 400–401}}
